Hi

Well, the interface have change a bit, or a bit more maybe. We have move
the tonestack as well the cab simulator from the main interface into the
rack. They are now "effects" like all the others. 
When you choose "Show Rack" from the "Plugin" menu you will receive a
empty rack first. Choose "Show Mono Rack" as next. Now, you can select
from the  "Plugin" -> "Mono Plugins" menu  the effects you wont to
include in the rack. That include the tonestack and the cabinet
simulation. Hopefully also the "Plugin Bar" could be of some help for
you, there you can select the plugins over buttons to show or hide them
and next to the button is a toggle to switch them on or of.  
If you like to use stereo effects switch on the "Show Stere Rack" over
the menu, all plugins are listed in the "Plugin Bar"

The cab simulator is hardly reworked and comes now with a 2 Band EQ  and
a level chooser, you can select one of 12 simulations and fine tune them
in realtime to your needs. There wasn't enough space in the main
interface to leave it in place. 
The tonestack comes also with some more selections and, the advance of
make it a effect module is, you can move it from pre to post processing,
witch influence the sound heavy. 

Therefore in the main interface is a clean/dist slider now, to adjust
the mix between distorted and clean sound. The drive slider set the
amount of distortion for the distorted part and the amount of drive to
the clean part. 

hope you comes in touch with the new interface
